The crazy thing is that this isn't limited to human remains.
Fake cameras often cost more than actual cameras. Fake food is more expensive than real food, which is then wasted.
I've wasted SO much money shooting movies with fake cameras.
Rookie mistake
True dat. Gotta start with fake money.
Fake food is often designed to survive heat from sets and lights. Filming for ads is different than filming movies, but the same idea applies. They also make low-sound versions of things like paper bags as to not ruin takes when things get carried by actors, moved around, or dragged on the set floor.
Using fake firearms is more expensive than using real ones with blanks, using real money is often cheaper than fake Hollywood money
Lord of war used real AKs for that reason
The staff ate it later.
The staff later had to get their stomachs pumped because the prop food was toxic.
Oh is that where the skeletons came from? 🙃
Unfortunately the stomach pump was also a prop.
Fake food can be reused and real food can't, mkaing fake food cheaper in the long run.
Thats why I only eat fake food. It saved me so much money over my lifetime.
We have some fake flowers as decor. They're on their fifth year. It is a fight to let me bring real flowers in but there are so many outside
It always pissed me off how in the Big Bang Theory, you always see them with food, but you never see them eat. I can probably count on one hand the number of times in the whole series someone actually takes a bite off camera.
I hope the crew got to eat all the stuff they never touched on camera, cause that shit always looked good. I got so many cravings watching that...
Actors will try to avoid eating in scenes, because if they end up having to do multiple takes, they have to take a bite of the food at the same point in the scene every take for continuity reasons. This can result in them getting sick of the food quickly.
Wasn't The Big Bang Theory filmed go front of a live audience?
Not me, if I was acting in a food scene and we had to do multiple takes, the viewers would notice my plate suddenly getting emptier every few seconds
Chris Pratt would do this on P&R.
But honestly I can't tell the difference.
He was famous for spewing in a bucket, because he'd keep eating
Unfortunately, he's a dumb, religious moron who isn't actually a role model at all, unlike Aubrey Plaza and Nick Offerman
Aubrey Plaza sold out to big Dairy. Not as much of an asshole as Pratt but still she could be better.
Could she be butter?
I'm still unclear on whether that was chicken.
